    INHFA have deferred the Land Eligibility Conference due to Departmental CAP meetings which will occur in the same time frame.

    I have low lying land but I also have 50 acres of mountain land,
    The department came out and inspected it (50 acres of mountain land ) last feb 2015 when I had the sheep taken off it pre lambing,
    They deemed it eligible for the year of 2014 due to no fences and lack of farming activity,
    I keep the same sheep on it every year , they no there area and keep to it eliminating the need for fences, it is surrounded by commonage but it is not commonage itself.....
    I have since appealed there decision sending in my own report containing objective evidence of farming activity during 2014-
    this objective evidence includes letter from local vet stating he treated animals on it, letter from dead animal removal service stating they took dead animals off it during 2014 and a letter from a shearer stating he clipped sheep on it during 2014, I also have photos of old sheep dung on it proving evidence of livestock grazing on it during 2014....
    If not over turned I would be set to pay back almost 10K in DAS payment and entitlements and as this is the reference year my livelihood is at stake ....

    Do you think the department are likely to over turn it based on this evidence?

    If not I will have to take legal action , my live is at stake here ...
    This is very stressful for me and its all because an inspector wants to look good in his office job to keep his supervisor happy...
    What do ye think of this situation?
